Tension begins with a desire for that which is not. It is a tension between the past and future." The Psychology of the Esoteric. "Tension means a gap between what you are and what you want to be. If the gap is great, the tension will be great. If the gap is small, the tension will be small. And if there is no gap at all, it means you are satisfied with what you are. Then your mind exists in the moment. There is nothing to be tense about; you are at ease with yourself. You are in the Tao," "Not only one tension but all possibilities of ever being tense-meditation simply takes all that away and gives you an open and clear sky for your intelligence to grow... as much space as you want.
